Outside my window... a bright, sunny start to another hot day
I am thinking... how much I enjoyed the cool days last week and how I look forward to the lower temperatures returning and how I am hoping for a nice cool fall after a long, extremely hot Texas summer
I am thankful... that Frap is coming home tonight ~ she has been in Colorado for two weeks and I miss her
From the learning rooms... a light load this week as we are winding down our year ~ Morning Time, some spelling, and a few silent readings
From the kitchen... the smell cinnamon toast
I am wearing... denim shorts and a navy blue tee
I am creating... lists and plans for Autumn, Advent, and Christmas
I am going... nowhere until I leave for the airport tonight
I am reading... Hind's Feet on High Places The Magician's Nephew Elizabeth Barrett Browning
I am hoping... to smile and hug more than I grumble and yell
I am hearing... Lulapalooza and Toodles singing made-up nonsense songs
Around the house... we are having a lazy morning, but all but O Special One are up and at 'em now ~ the main part of the house is fairly tidy (for us) ~ the younger ones are finishing up their morning things, and then we will gather for our Morning Time readings
One of my favorite things... days at home
A few plans for the rest of the week: a 50c. movie for dad and kids at the discount theatre tonight coffee with a friend on Tuesday go with O Special One to check out a riding stable for jumping lessons Tuesday evening introduce Eugene Field & Grandma Moses finish decluttering & organizing the downstairs kitchen~living spaces a special autumn craft and treat on Friday a special TeaTime with Frap
Here is picture for thought I am sharing... I found this photo at FreeDigitalPhotos.net we do not get much autumn colour around here
I don't think that anybody actually reads my blog, but just in case...
My summer of nannying has come to an end. I will miss taking care of L. and visiting with K., but I am so glad to be a (mostly) stay-at-home-mama again!
We have another nine or ten weeks of studies left, and then we are finished with this year's school!
We have had grey skies and even some rain here, so it is finally beginning to look like fall; although, with temperatures in the 70s and 80s it still doesn't quite feel like it to me. The 100+degree days seem to have come to an end, and for that I am grateful. Autumn is my favourite time of the year, and I am feeling energized.
And, on that note, my three younger children are finishing their morning things, so I had better go and get myself ready for our morning time readings.
